they were running cams, headwork, rods, pistons and a proper ex manifold/system to get 225bhp though, a bog stock xe id say about 175 or so, stock cams are at thier limit about 180bhp

This question is a bit like saying "How fast can I run if I buy some new trainers".. The carbs are only one factor, if you stuck just the carbs on you would get 0bhp because the engine wouldnt actually run!
